Dajin royal family

Chapter 225 Assassin
Jingzhao County, a post station in the suburbs of Xinfeng County, is not far from Chang'an, and there are more and more pedestrians on the road. Although the weather is extremely hot, the prosperity of Chang'an still attracts businessmen and scholars from all over the world to enter this place in an endless stream. Imperial capital.

However, at this moment, something seemed to have happened in the post station. The inner three floors and the outer three floors were surrounded by guards who were about to straddle the sword.Pedestrians on the side of the road looked sideways at each other, but they were shouted back by the burly guards. Many pedestrians who wanted to enter the station to rest felt a little annoyed.

Yu Qing and Pei Yuanyan were standing under a willow tree outside the post station. The hot weather made the two people in long robes feel even more impatient.Nan Jiyun walked out of the post station, cupped his hands towards Yu Qing and said, "Master Yu, your son is under attack, please hurry to Chang'an and tell your majesty, we will temporarily protect your son, and then enter the city."

Half an hour ago, an assassin assassinated Jiang Chengxiao in the post station and left.Yu Qing hurriedly said, "How is your son injured?"

Nan Jiyun said: "The doctor said that there is no serious problem, but it is not suitable to hurry. The son ordered to cultivate here for a while, please go to the city first and report to His Majesty."

"We are only officials, and we can only enter the palace as the prince. What's more, we are also responsible for the prince being attacked. It is not too late to enter the city after the prince recovers. The thief dares to attack the prince in Xinfeng County. He won't lay an ambush on the official road again, and I can help the prince here." Pei Yuanyan said with a serious face.

Yu Qing on the side nodded in agreement, "Brother Yuan Yan said that's right, we will be together when we come, and of course we will be together when we go back."

The attitude of these two people made Nan Jiyun feel a little better, much better than that Zheng Ruyi, but he still said: "My lords, now is not the time to talk about these things, the son sent a letter to inform you Your Majesty will enter the palace today, but now there is an accident, and someone needs to go to explain it, otherwise His Majesty may not be able to explain it, so I ask the two adults to put the overall situation first."

"Besides, there are our guards here to protect your son, so you two adults don't have to worry." Nan Jiyun took out a gold medal from his waist and offered it with both hands, "You two adults can hold this gold medal and enter the palace to meet His Majesty. Your Majesty will explain why."

Yu Qing pondered for a moment, then took the gold medal, "Okay, go and tell Qing Que, I will definitely handle things well."

Although Pei Yuanyan wanted to continue to wait here for the son to wake up, but because the emperor already knew that they would go to the palace today to report Qingzhou matters, it would be inappropriate not to notify His Majesty of these things now.After figuring it out, Yu Qingze and Pei Yuanyan no longer hesitated, got on the horse and left thinking about Chang'an.

After sending Yu Qingze and Pei Yuanyan away, Nan Jiyun turned and entered the station.At this moment, all the idlers in the post station have been driven outside, and there is no one inside, and Jiang Chengxiao's slaves are everywhere to guard them.

Nan Jiyun pushed the door open and entered the room, only to see Jiang Chengxiao standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his eyes could just see Yu Qingze and Pei Yuanyan who were gradually going away.Behind him, a young guard in luxurious brocade clothes fell to the ground with a dagger stuck in his chest.

"Master, Lord Yu and Lord Pei have gone."

Jiang Chengxiao's face was calm, making it difficult to see what he was thinking in his heart, and he just nodded indifferently after hearing Nan Jiyun's words. "Let them keep an eye on that assassin, I want to see who wants my life." Jiang Chengxiao turned to look at the young guard lying on the ground.

Long after the Cui family matter was settled, Jiang Chengxiao had expected today. During this trip to Qingzhou, he was really in the limelight. Not only did he eliminate the corrupt officials in Qi County, but he also suppressed the mob along the way, and captured the conspiracy of the former King of Han. Master Cui Qi and Cui Yunxiang.

Coupled with the appearance of the inner guard and Zheng Ruyi's hasty departure, Jiang Chengxiao knew that before he rushed back to Chang'an, these things must not be hidden from some people.It is not surprising then that the assassination against him followed.As early as when he left Qingzhou, there were some flies around him, and he knew it all along.

Therefore, these days he actually used a guard as his substitute.Unexpectedly, this assassin was brave enough to attack him when he entered Jingzhao County and was so close to Chang'an, and he was killed with one blow!
Jiang Chengxiao squatted down and looked at the dagger stuck on the guard's body. The blade was covered with poison, and the double had already been declared dead when the blade was inserted into the double.This is also what frightened him the most. If he hadn't taken precautions in advance, he would be the one who died now.

"Master, what if the assassin doesn't go back and report to the people behind the scenes?" Nan Jiyun asked.

"No return?" Jiang Chengxiao stared at the red and white blade, and said: "If he didn't find the person behind the scenes, then catch him and hand him over to Mei Si, before he dies, I must know who is behind it. "

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

Jiang Chengxiao said: "Jiyun, who do you think the murderer will be this time?"

It seems that he didn't expect the master to ask himself, so Nan Jiyun was taken aback at first, and then after thinking about it, he said: "In the current form, the most likely one should be the Cui family. Although the master let go of everything except Qi County The other officials in Qingzhou, but Cui Qi and Cui Yunxiang were caught by the inner guards beside the master, it cannot be ruled out that they will pour their resentment on the master."

"This is the first thing most people think of when they receive the news of my assassination." Jiang Chengxiao got up and said, "But this is also where most people's misunderstandings lie."

"Mistakes in thinking?" Nan Jiyun didn't understand this strange word, he had never heard of such a word.

Without explaining to Nan Jiyun the misunderstanding of his thinking, Jiang Chengxiao said: "Because of this, I think the possibility of the Cui family is even smaller. After Cui Qi was caught, they were already fish on the chopping board. At this time, they would assassinate me." Apart from making the Qinghe Cui family suffer even more losses, they will not get any other benefits."

"It's too unreasonable for a big family to make such a foolish move when they already know that they have lost the upper hand. Think about it, can the Cui family be saved if I die? Could it be that they killed me just to vent their anger? Me, don't they think what will happen to Qinghe Cui's family after I die?"

In this way, Nan Jiyun thinks it makes sense.If the master is killed here, then the Cui family will be the first to be suspected, because this time Cui Qi was caught, what kind of role the master played in it, all the court ministers have guessed.

But precisely because of this, the possibility of the Cui family doing something is very small.Because of killing the master, not only will the Cui family not get any benefits, but they will also be more guilty.

"The master means that someone in the court has already known about this matter, and by assassinating the master, they will place the blame on the Cui family." Nan Jiyun said.

"Perhaps it's possible to eradicate the Cui family." Jiang Chengxiao grinned, "Your Majesty already knows about Cui Qi and Cui Yunxiang, and they assassinated me. If these two things are added together, the Cui family will suffer heavy losses even if they don't die. "

"This person behind the scenes is really ruthless. He drove the Cui family to death with just one chess piece. Who could he be?" Jiang Chengxiao was very curious about this person.As far as the current situation is concerned, he actually has no guesses in his heart, because the information he has so far is too closed.

He is used to guessing the people behind the scenes from the perspective of 'profit', but this time the Cui family was forced to death, so who can profit?

"Master, will Your Majesty believe that this was done by the Cui family?"

Jiang Chengxiao pondered for a while, and then said: "I don't know, if the murderer is not found in the end, then the Cui family may take the blame. If the murderer is found, the Cui family may take the blame."

Nan Jiyun: "???"

If you can't find it, it's the Cui family's fault, so is there any difference if you can't find it?

Seemingly seeing Nan Jiyun's doubts, Jiang Chengxiao chuckled and said, "Hehe, you have to know that this matter is a disaster for the Cui family, but it is an opportunity for His Majesty. Of course, it is not ruled out that the Cui family will finally ask His Majesty Bow your head, so maybe the Cui family won't have to take the blame."

Hearing this, Nan Jiyun already understood a little.Here, he admired his master more and more, and he said something deeper with just a few words.

"Give me a dagger." Jiang Chengxiao said suddenly.

Nan Jiyun looked at the master puzzled, "Why does the master want a dagger?"

"Since I have been assassinated, I naturally have to act like that. What's more, this assassination is not a bad thing for me. Perhaps, I have to thank the person behind the assassination of me." Said At this point, Jiang Chengxiao smiled again.

He was still thinking about how to dispel the emperor's doubts about his secret alliance with the Shandong gentry when he came back this time, but he didn't expect that someone would give him such an opportunity.

Although he didn't understand what the master meant, Nan Jiyun still took out a dagger from his boots and handed it to the master, and reminded him, "Master, this dagger is not poisoned."

He already knew what his master would do, so the dagger he took out was an ordinary dagger without any special treatment.

Jiang Chengxiao took the dagger, pulled it out lightly, and Senbai's blade appeared.

"Where is the key point in the abdomen?" Jiang Chengxiao asked softly.

"Three inches to the right of the navel."

"Okay, just choose the right one inch."

Jiang Chengxiao took a deep breath, his face froze, and then he stabbed in!
　Recently, some book friends said that reading books is a waste of brain, the real clues have been mentioned, don't look at ten lines at a glance, of course it will be confusing.
